One districts namely Beed was selected randomly from Marathwada region. Three talukas from Beed district and five villages from each talukas were selected randomly for the study. From each selected village, ten rural youth were selected randomly who was able to express their views on agriculture as an occupation, which comprising total sample of 150 respondents were considered for the study. An Ex-post-facto research design was followed for the study. Data was gathered using a well-structured interview schedule created with the study’s objectives in mind. The collected data was analysed, classified and tabulated. Statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and co-efficient correlation were used to interpret findings and draw conclusions.The findings shows that detailed analysis of dependent variable indicated that majority of rural youth had medium level (72.00%) of perception towards agriculture as an occupation followed by low (16.67%) and high (11.33%).","PeriodicalId":13858,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140507878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fresh water is a crucial resource for human life and natural systems. The quality of water is usually described according to its physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Rapid industrialization and use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture are causing heavy and varied pollution in aquatic environments leading to the deterioration in water quality and aquatic biota. Planktons are taxonomically diverse, composed of plants, animals, bacteria and viruses. Globally the biomasses of phytoplankton and zooplankton are about equal, although the doubling time of zooplankton is considerably longer than for phytoplankton. The present investigation was carried out to assess the water quality and plankton diversity in Anchuthengu lake, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. Analysis of water quality was done with respect to eleven important physicochemical parameters like air and surface water temperature, pH, TDS, salinity, electrical conductivity, alkalinity, hardness, free CO2, DO and BOD. Conductivity shows high positive correlation with alkalinity and hardness. Alkalinity is positively correlated with hardness. The aquatic flora and fauna in the lake may grow well because the DO value in the current study was over 5 mg/L, and the BOD value also indicates that the lake is less contaminated.. The dominated plankton species identified in the present study were Spirogyra, Chlorella, Navicula, Pinnularia, Oscillatoria, Closterium, Cosmerium.","PeriodicalId":13858,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES","volume":"10 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140508579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The compound growth rates of area, production and productivity of major crops were estimated for two sub-periods i.e. Period-I (1997-98 to2007-08), Period-II (2008-09 to 2018-19) and overall period (1997-98 to2018-19).Co-efficient of variation was used for analytical tools. Simple tabular analysis was used to examine the changes in cropping pattern in Bhopal division and districts of Bhopal division i.e. Bhopal, Sehore, Vidisha, Rajgarh and Raisen. In order to study the crop diversification Herfindahl index have been used. In order to work out the advantageous crops, land concentration ratio in different districts with comparative advantage was computed for last10 years i.e. from 2008-09 to 2017-18. In majority of districts of Bhopal division i.e. Bhopal, Sehore, Vidisha, Rajgarh and Raisen crop diversification has significantly increased during the study period. The diversification from subsistence crop to more crops were took place in selected districts and in division also. Results of the study revealed that growth rate of area of Lentil crop was highest during Period-I i.e. 45.58 per cent in Bhopal division ascompared other crops. In case of production pigeonpea, wheat, pea and Lentil showed increased growth rate of production by 9.42, 11.02, 59.91 and 53.15 per cent per annum.In Bhopal division pea was showed highest variation in area, production and productivity during period-II i.e. 78.36,79.30 and 65.87 per cent per annum. Wheat was showed lowest variation in area and production during period-I i.e. 6.54 and 13.91 per cent as compareto other crops.

Gibberellic acid (GA3) at 100 mg/l emerges as a potent post-shooting spray, significantly enhancing bunch length, finger length, girth of finger, bunch weight, and overall fruit yield. The study highlights the pivotal role of GA3 in promoting both cell division and elongation, contributing to increased fruit size and weight. Non-woven material bag covering proves superior in creating an optimal microclimate, fostering enhanced air circulation, temperature control, and light interception. This material significantly boosts finger length, girth, bunch weight, and fruit yield. These findings provide valuable insights for banana cultivation, emphasizing the strategic use of GA3 and appropriate covering materials to optimize environmental conditions and hormonal balance for improved crop outcomes.

This study employs the Autoregre ssive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) technique, a data mining approach commonly used for time series analysis and future forecasting. Given the increasing importance of climate change forecasting in averting unexpected natural hazards such as floods, frost, forest fires, and droughts, accurate weather data forecasting becomes imperative. The objective of this study was to develop a Seasonal Auto-Regressive Integrative Moving Average (SARIMA) model for forecasting monthly rainfall in Junagadh Station, Gujarat. Utilizing 50 years of historical data (1968 to 2016), the SARIMA model predicts weekly rainfall for the subsequent five years (2018 to 2022). Through comprehensive evaluation using ACF and PACF plots, AIC, SBC, MAPE, and MAE values, the study identifies SARIMA (1,0,0)(3,1,1)12 as the optimal model, offering the most accurate prediction. The robust results affirm that the SARIMA model provides reliable and satisfactory weekly rainfall predictions. This research contributes valuable insights into the precision and efficacy of SARIMA models for rainfall forecasting, aiding in strategic water resource management in the Junagadh region.","PeriodicalId":13858,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES","volume":"34 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140507591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
